What is Life?: How chemistry becomes biology

Seventy years ago, Erwin SchrAdinger posed a simple, yet profound, question: 'What is life?'. Download What is Life?: How chemistry becomes biology from rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared. How could the very existence of such extraordinary chemical systems be understood? This problem has puzzled biologists and physical scientists both before, and ever since.



Living things are hugely complex and have unique properties, such as self-maintenance and apparently purposeful behaviour which we do not see in inert matter. So how does chemistry give rise to biology? Did life begin with replicating molecules, and, if so, what could have led the first replicating molecules up such a path? Now, developments in the emerging field of 'systems chemistry' are unlocking the problem.

Life's Ratchet: How Molecular Machines Extract Order from Chaos

The cells in our bodies consist of molecules, made up of the same carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms found in air and rocks. But molecules, such as water and sugar, are not alive. So how do our cells-assemblies of otherwise "dead" molecules-c

No one can escape a sense of awe when reflecting on the workings of the mind: we see, we hear, we feel, we are aware of the world around us. But what is the mind? What do we mean when we say we are Aaware" of something? What is this peculiar state

Probably Approximately Correct: Nature's Algorithms for Learning and Prospering in a Complex World

We have effective theories for very few things. Gravity is one, electromagnetism another. But for most things-whether as mundane as finding a mate or as major as managing an economy-our theories are lousy or nonexistent. Fortunately, we don't n
